This does come up with older homes in the Southeast, especially crawl-space construction.In many cases, some amount of sagging or uneven floors is simply a function of age, original construction standards, and long-term settlement, not necessarily a structural failure.

As an investor, I always come back to ROI and function.

I still have to manually fix vlookup and other functions that retrieve the Nth column in a search.

@Nick CoplandHi Nick,I'll preface this with the fact that I am a long-term rental guy.. not Mid Term... but most still applies....I think the answer to your question is a function of your abilities and availability.

This can be REALLY expensiveI prioritize layout and functionality, along with the most important factor: location.In the Philadelphia area, I’m consistently seeing better rental performance in the outskirts and surrounding counties compared to the city itself.When analyzing a deal—especially in a hot area—it’s important to understand the potential of the property, not just what it’s producing today.

Office and Retail is a Covid part 2, economic downturn are the big ones.The biggest “oh crap” risks in retail and office are concentrated in a few themes: tenant fragility, functional/locational obsolescence, capex time bombs, and capital markets risk that can nuke your business plan even if NOI looks fine on paper.5.Crexi, Brokers and Commercial Deal Finders- which go out and secure seller financed deals on properties.6.Commonly 5–10 years for permanent bank or CMBS debt, with overall ranges roughly 5–20 years depending on lender and product.

It's true that there is functionality in there which gives you more - access to records, owner details, detailed history etc, but really honestly for most investors, using zillow/redfin and working with a great agent is going to all you need.

A functioning STR isn't worth any more than any other condo like it in the complex.

Connected intercom: I use a connected intercom system that needs internet in order to function properly, so I provide that through my landlord internet connection.

.- Is the layout functional?
